conversely speaking

funny how the kids get all their *stuff* first, and mummy and daddy's wish lists seem to slide off the end of the budget..
yesterday, though, i realised that I hadn't bought myself any new shoes for about three years (oh, except my funky roxy camouflage jandals with suz in sydney last year..) and i *need* some good shoes to walk all around europe :o)
only four sleeps until *we fly out*...
(kate holds her breath)

so... hubby and I ventured into town and I tried on *every* pair of trainers in the store.
too small, too white, too padded, too flexible, not flexible enough.. (reminds me of a porridge story I know)

and then, i laid eyes on these converse all stars.
and immediately fell in love.
of course they fit perfectly.
chocolate-brown-and-pink.
my favourite colour combination.

i feel just like (guess the disney character), "wishing upon a star"..
